MINING BREyITEs.
Williams & Bait have gone to
work upon the Ella in Crystal bas-

Myron Robinson is opening up
some promising property on Ava
lanche creek.
T. G. Manning is at work open
ing up his contact property on
Sheep mountain.
Justice & Knight intend shipping
ore from their property upon the
marble contact on Yule creek.
Jack Clayton and Dick Price
were around from Yule creek last
Sunday and report the new pros
poets as looking we'll.
Hanlon Bros have been opening
up their property over on Yule
creek, and it has been widening out
showing a large body of carbonate
ore.
Brownell and Roche have COM
pleted work upon the Mammoth
group, and struck a body of galena
and copper ore in the upper work
ings.
The Pacific keeps showing
good ore body, and Yule creek is
commencing to show up with the
development work being done over
that way.
Ira Cline has struck a new bonan-
"a and has gone to work upon it.
The ledge is very wide and shows
the same character of ore through
out, which is free milling.
Brownell and Roche are at work
upon the Governor Tabor contact,
putting in timbers and running in
the drift. The vein is about eight
feet in width carrying lead and iron
carbonates.
Williams ard Bait have finished
up work upon the Silver Chief, in
Chicago basin. The property shows
up splendid lead and copper ore,
and is one that will stand develop
ment. The vein shows ore three
feet in width.
J.H. Carver, VINO passed through
town this week, cut 40 feet OF the
tunnel on the Legal tender in White
Rock basin during the present seas
on. This property shows consider
able mineral, and the owners intend
to continue development.
Phillips and Sterling's carbonate
mine, upon Iron Cross mountain,
shows up one of the largest mineral
outcrops in the district, and the
work is showing up good quantity
Of lead and carbonate ore. The
property should be one to pay we'll
when our ore goes down grade.
Collin Timmons: of Aspen, who
has been looking over the mines of
this section, has secured lease and
bond upon the Crown Prince on
Crystal mountain from Mr.. Ashby,
and is making preparations to open
up the property. and will ship ore
at no distant date. Mr.. Timmons
will also put in an assay outfit and
make tests of the mineral as it is
opened up. The vein is large one
and carries a good grade of galena
ore.
The Denver Mining Industry
says, "the great masses of native
silver and silver wires in the Sylvia
mite mine of the Gunnison country,
masses of gold in the A;amakee
mine of Boulder county, huge mug
gets and wires of gold in the Wire
Carpenter placers of Summit coun-
ty, and the surface silver placers of
Sacramento distri t, Park county,
are among the recent extra efforts
of nature to assert the pre-eminent
fitness of these two metals for joint
association. The 1900 foot level in
the California mine of Gilpin coun-
ty (the deepest workings in the
State) reveals the fact that depth
does not detract from either quality
or quantity Of ore there. The new
caves in the Ben Butler and Polar
Accidental (quartz mines) and in
the Iron Mask carbonate mine) in
Eagle county, again exhibit what
nature can do in the way OF depos-
